Bush's "National Sanctity of Life Day"
It doesn't get any more sickening than this.
Bob Geiger brought this to our attention, and it's such an extreme example of underhanded pandering, it's nauseating.
On Friday, Bush proclaimed today, January 22, National Sanctity of Human Life Day. JUST so happens it's also the anniversary of Roe v Wade.
The official proclamation is wracked with religious zealotry, but this line takes the cake:
National Sanctity of Human Life Day is an opportunity to strengthen our resolve in creating a society where every life has meaning and our most vulnerable members are protected and defended including unborn children, the sick and dying, and persons with disabilities and birth defects. This is an ideal that appeals to the noblest and most generous instincts within us, and this is the America we will achieve by working together.
Every life has meaning? What about:
- The dead citizens of Iraq (over 120,000 of them)?
- The dead American soldiers?
- The dead people you've sent to Death Row?
- The dead mine workers?
- The dead Katrina victims of New Orleans and Mississippi?
- The dead Asian tsunami victims to which you offered $350,000?
- The dead burnt bodies you stood upon with a bullhorn after 9/11?
Death is all over your record, Mr. Bush. You have zero right to tell us to have respect for human life.
You've lacked that respect of human life every day of your administration - with the exception of embryos and Terri Schiavo. That's some record.
We flatly reject your proclamation on the sanctity of life until you end your culture of death.
A great catch by Geiger. He has more at his site.







It's sickening and a first, that we have a government beholden and co-opted by religious zealots. Too many of so called dem leaders are afraid to speak out on this. Jimmy Carter's not afraid.

''Sanctity of Life''
LOL
Coming from our coward Bush whose law killed a living baby in Texas (Sun Hudson) against the mother's wishes.

Bush does not sanctify life! He sanctifies Control!
The rights of the living should be protected whether on the battlefield, surgical table, or on the telephone or computer.
Bush is an INVASION President on the pretense of protecting America.
Our Representatives failed us, and I beleive they are going to fail us again by supporting the appointment of Alito.

And what about the bill he signed to pull the plug on those who could not pay in Texas hospitals, even if the families wanted to keep them alive? The man is a whited sepulchre.
The "culture of life" is simply so he can get them born so he can impoverish, torture, and kill them.

A deadly tale of abuse
Parents charged with murder of girl in apartment probed by city after reports of mistreatment
A malnourished 7-year-old girl, whom police sources said was sexually abused, beaten and sometimes bound to a chair in her Bedford-Stuyvesant home, was found dead Wednesday, even as her family was under investigation by the city on suspicions of child abuse.
The child's stepfather, Cesar Rodriguez, 27, and her mother , Nixzaliz Santiago, 27, were both charged with second-degree murder. Rodriguez also was accused of sexual abuse and criminal possession of a weapon -- a belt that he allegedly used to beat the frail child.
The death of 36-pound Nixzmary Brown drew immediate comparisons among detectives to the infamous Lisa Steinberg case and again thrust into the spotlight the embattled Administration for Children's Services, which had recently sent a case worker to investigate an abuse complaint in the Bedford-Stuyvesant household.
The caseworker, one police source said, determined that Nixzmary -- one of six siblings -- was malnourished and that her mother,, "seemed withdrawn and out of it, and appeared to have been abused." The source also said that the caseworker described the suspect, also 27, as "intimidating and possessive."
But the abuse complaint -- from someone at Nixzmary's school -- that sparked the probe was filed on Dec. 1, and ACS, which has 60 days to investigate a complaint, said it was still in the middle of its investigation. The agency also said it deemed unsubstantiated a complaint filed last May.
Wednesday morning, just before 4:30 a.m., police said, the stay-at-home mother found Nixzmary unconscious.
Frantic, she ran upstairs screaming for help, telling a neighbor something had happened to the girl while in the bathtub, sources said. Adam, the neighbor's son, who asked that his last name not be printed, said Santiago "came up and said was dying.
"When they got downstairs, she was mad cold."
The neighbor called 911 and an ambulance crew and police rushed to the Greene Avenue building where the family had lived for about two years.
It was too late.
Nixzmary was lying in the bedroom -- the bathtub story was a ruse, sources said -- and her body showed signs of abuse. The girl was pronounced dead at the scene.
"You could see her ribs," a police source said. "That's how malnourished she was." Nearby, sources said, were pictures of the children, including at least one of Nixzmary, full-faced and smiling, dated by at least two years.
Police also made a startling discovery: heavy-duty string tied to both a metal chair and to a nearby doorknob, sources said, and detectives have asked the medical examiner to compare the string to ligature marks found on the girl's ankle.
The medical examiner's office said the girl was the victim of child abuse syndrome, her body battered over a period of time. Her injuries, the ME said, included blunt trauma to the head and brain hemorrhaging.
Nixzmary stood 45 inches, but weighed only 36 pounds, underweight for a girl her age. She was born in Puerto Rico and was learning English, which detectives believe at least partly explains why no one suspected the alleged abuse earlier.
Detectives said they learned from a neighbor that Nixzmary had told her mother that Rodriguez used to touch her in inappropriate places. It was not immediately clear if the autopsy showed signs of sexual abuse.
Nixzmary's five brothers and sisters -- including two fathered by Rodriguez -- were examined at Woodhull Hospital Wednesday morning, then placed in ACS custody. They range in age from 6 months to 9 years and it appears that they too had not been eating properly, sources said, though none of them showed signs they had been beaten.
Those old enough to understand will be questioned about what they might have seen, as well as whether they were abused.
The parents, meanwhile, were taken to the 79th Precinct, a block away, for questioning.
At first, sources said, they pretended to know only Spanish, then admitted they speak English, at which point Rodriguez fell asleep before being interrogated later in the day.
Some neighbors described a family that's loud and boisterous. Others did not seem stunned to learn of the slaying.
Adam, the neighbor's son, said he recently saw Nixzmary with a black eye and a cut chin.
"Her chin was bleeding," he said. "He would hit the mom, too."
But Rodriguez's sister, Iris Rodriguez, 24, said he treated his four stepchildren as his own. "I never saw any abuse, ever," the sister said.
Rafael Espinal, working the counter at a grocery across from where the family lives, echoed that sentiment.
He said Cesar Rodriguez was a regular customer, well-liked enough that the store would extend him credit to buy food for his family.
"A real nice man," Espinal said. "You never know, but I don't think he would do anything like that."
ACS said all Brooklyn cases were being reviewed to determine if any action needs to be taken immediately.
The agency's commissioner, John Mattingly, meanwhile, said in a statement that he is "deeply disturbed by the death of Nixzmary Brown."
He also said the child safety review he ordered last month will produce "an overall strengthening of our system designed to protect children and support families."
ACS has come under fire in recent months for three high-profile cases involving children whose family had a history with ACS.
On Dec. 28, Latifa Bunch, 25, allegedly killed her 1-year-old son, Josiah, by squeezing his chest until his ribs broke and then throwing him into a crib.
ACS had no previous file for the boy, but two other children had been removed from the mother, one by ACS and one by New Jersey authorities.
On Nov. 6, 16-month-old Dahquay Gillians drowned in a bathtub. And on Oct. 25, Sierra Roberts, 7, died after police said she was repeatedly kneed in the stomach by her father. Both children had been returned to parents who lost custody of them earlier.

Resident Bush, what did you do to preserve the "sanctity of life" for this poor little soul? This forgotten angel? This innocent?
You're so fucking busy pandering to your mongoloid cousin-marrying JesusFreak base with your worries about "the unborn"...but you could give a flying fuck about them after their heads pass the birth canal.
Posted by: Daughter of Viet Vet | Jan 22, 2006 at 09:46 PM
Golly gosh. I'm beginning to wonder if President Genius was posturing or something during the Schiavo vigil, when he bloviated about how we should "err on the side of life." But y'know, you get antsy when you don't have the gubernatorial thrill of executing folks.
Posted by: Steve | Jan 22, 2006 at 10:34 PM
Daughter of Nam Vet: And Bush had something to do with that story because....
You're so fucking busy pandering to your mongoloid cousin-marrying JesusFreak base
Oh no, you libs aren't anti-christian And to think you call conservatives hateful.
The dead citizens of Iraq (over 120,000 of them)?
Let me guess. You blame Bush because you think it was our soldiers that killed all those people (BTW, that number is beyond exagerated). "Oh, we support the troops, but look what big murderers they are!"
The dead American soldiers?
You are aware that people, unfortunately, die in war, aren't you? Dont' get me wrong, I don't think we should have gone to Iraq, but that's because I'm more of a libertarian when it comes to foreign policy. I guess you blame the Continental Congress for all the dead Americans during the Revolutionary war, Lincoln during the Civil War, and so on and so forth.
The dead people you've sent to Death Row?
Let's see. A person on death row has been charged QUILTY of the crime of MURDER! What has a fetus been charged with?
The dead mine workers?
You people are really losing it.
The dead Katrina victims of New Orleans and Mississippi?
Yep, Bush with his weather machine caused the huricane. Then he used his idiot-maker device to cause Nagin to completely mishandle the crisis.
The dead Asian tsunami victims to which you offered $350,000?
That was before damages were tallied up and such.
The dead burnt bodies you stood upon with a bullhorn after 9/11?
Bin Laden and his ilk is the reason for those dead bodies, not Bush. Damn, take off the tin-foil hat already.
I'm not much of a fan of Bush myself but you all paint him to be far worse then he actually is.

That should read "guilty".
Posted by: DeathMetalCookieMonster | Jan 22, 2006 at 11:15 PM
DMCM...
Get off the high horse. Apparently, I need to spoon-feed you the facts which you'll ignore anyway. Point by point...
120,000 dead Iraqis because of BUSH'S war. One of a million changing reasons was how Saddam murdered thousands of his citizens over the past 13 years. We did it in about 30 months. Troops follow orders. Most of them thought they were going to get bin Laden. Bush betrayed their trust.
Yeah, people die in war - which is why Bush's rush to war was a decision more sane people (and experienced people) would have resisted. Bush's giddiness to go in there was criminal.
Don't think Bush's death penalty in Texas displays his disrespect of human life? Then you DEFINITELY don't want to see what's at this link. Whatever you do, don't click it. It's National Review. It's Tucker Carlson. And neither were fans of your president in 1999.
Bush relaxed laws on mine safety. Bush allowed mining companies to bust unions. Result: dead miners. Duh.
You're actually going to defend Bush's reaction to Katrina? You're sick, man. No, he didn't cause the hurricane (DUH again). But they're still pulling bodies out of the mud and hundreds of kids are still missing. Have you been getting all your news from Limbaugh?
Bush waited three days before making his decision on the tsunami victims - and that's when he offered the $350k.
Bush stood on the bodies of the WTC victims. I was demonstrating his disrespect for the dead, not linking him to the actual attack. If you're reading more into it than that, then you're a victim of your own twisted imagination.
And yes - he IS that bad. Dead people are everywhere in this presidency. We're outraged by it. You should be too, but you're too busy playing tough. Too bad. We could use your passion for the good cause.

I placed that story there as a bit of foreshadowing. The minute abortion is outlawed in this country, the number of stories like Nixmary's will skyrocket. Tear your hair out while they are supposedly a "they" whilst in the womb. Screw 'em when they get to be seven years old, chained to a chair, starved, beaten, sexually molested, and forced to defecate in a cat's litter box.
Hateful about JesusFreaks? You goddamned better believe it. They are tearing this country from limb to limb, and they have their Military Deserter Enabler Resident to permit it all. Linear-thinking mouth-breathers deserve every single epithet an educated person can hurl upon them. Every single one.
One last thing: watch your idiotic mouth about Mayor Nagin. Racist fool, your hatred for Darkie is showing. How convenient for a white male Shrubsucker: a black mayor to blame for the deaths of All Of Those Black People Who Were Just Too Stupid To Leave New Orleans When Whitey Told Them To. Tell me, do you lovers of the Military Deserter in Chief hold him liable for ANYTHING?
I should hope that a strong supporter for The Boy Wonder would hold his Resident up to a much, much higher standard than that of a first-time mayor. You know, call me crazy, but I would think that one would have a bit more accountability than the other.
Oh, right. I forgot. Resident Bush had Brownie. And, to quote The Emperor With No Clothes, that Brownie was doin' one heckuva job.

Oh this is rich. You call me a racist for mentioning Nagin (the good old race card, the lib's best friend) and yet right before doing so show how much you hate christians. The oh-so-tolerant libs.

OMG!!! You say I have an idiotic mouth and yet completely missed the part where I said I'm not a big fan of Bush. Yeah, I voted for the guy, and yes, I stick up for him when I feel it's warrented, but that doesn't mean I think he's the best president in the world.
I also find it rather funny that you think child abuse stories will skyrocket when abortion will supposedly be banned, because it seems as though it's the liberal lawyers out there that have no concern for children when it comes to those cases. It's us EEEEEVILLLLL conservatives that are barking mad about lax punishment towards child molestors and such.

How in the hell are they tearing the country limb-from-limb? What faith-based laws have been passed? Gay marraige? Sorry, but I know a shit load of athiests that are against it. BTW, those eeeeeevillll christians are extremely charitable to alot of worthy causes. For every Fred Phelps, there are a billion Mother Teresas. I find it rather humorous how you assume all christians are uneducated. Hmmmm, strange how it's usually christians or other religious types that wind up being validictorians at their schools. Kind of like how on conservative blogs libs like you will call us chicken hawks and say shit like "why don't you join the military" without even realising that most of us (myself included) have served in the military.
You're actually going to defend Bush's reaction to Katrina? You're sick, man. No, he didn't cause the hurricane (DUH again). But they're still pulling bodies out of the mud and hundreds of kids are still missing. Have you been getting all your news from Limbaugh?
Bodies are still being pulled and therefor Bush is to blame? Damn, talk about blind hatred. BTW, I get the majority of my news from CNN.com, not exactly a conservative site.
Bush waited three days before making his decision on the tsunami victims - and that's when he offered the $350k.
Then he offered even more. Incase you didn't know, you always offer a rather low amount first before figuring out how much you can actually donate.
Bush stood on the bodies of the WTC victims. I was demonstrating his disrespect for the dead, not linking him to the actual attack. If you're reading more into it than that, then you're a victim of your own twisted imagination.
Your BDS knows no bounds! I guess everyone else who happen to walk on that same area disrespected the dead. I'm sure if it was Ralph Nader or Michael Moore who stood on that spot with a bullhorn, you'd be like "Tell it like it is! YEAH!".

Monster:
Let me clear something up for you once and for all.
I was raised a Christian. In a fundamentalist area of the country. I went to parochial school. I married in my faith. Up until three years ago, with the pedophile scandals and all, I was a regular Church-goer.
You are not a Christian. I hate you because you, and people just like you, are destroying the Holy Name of Jesus Christ with your hateful diatribes against anyone you disagree with and having the audacity to attempt to justify such hatred with the Word of God. In my book, that ain't Christianity, that's Blasphemy. Make no mistake about it.
Hate Christians? Not quite. To hate a Christian would be to hate myself, my family, and where I came from. People like you are not Christians. You are so far from "Christian," it is not even funny.

"Liberal lawyers" screwing over children...right?
http://www.hrw.org/doc/?t=usa_children
There are at least 2,225 child offenders serving life without parole sentences in U.S prisons for crimes committed before they were age 18, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International said in a new joint report published today.
Letter to Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings expressing Human Rights Watch’s concern regarding a proposed waiver to education requirements, which would affect children left homeless by Hurricane Katrina.
The U.S. Department of Human Health Services’ (HHS’) website, www.4parents.gov, censors and distorts information about any other method of HIV prevention beyond abstinence, putting youth at needless risk of HIV infection. Human Rights Watch urges HHS to remove this website, and substitute in its place complete, unbiased, and accurate information about HIV prevention that meets with prevailing human rights standards.
The detention of children at Guantanamo poses grave risks to their well-being, Human Rights Watch said today, in response to the U.S. military's acknowledgement that at least three children, ages 13 to 15, are among the detainees at Guantanamo. In a letter sent today to U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Human Rights Watch urged the United States to strictly observe international children's rights standards regarding the detainees.

No "liberal lawyers" there, troll. Just good ole' heapin' helpins' of Resident Bush failing miserably at the job he was allegedly elected to do.
And lest you think that you can lay the abysmal decisions to allow children to remain with their abusive parents, check this website out:
http://www.gocrc.com/
The "Children's Rights Council" is a fundamentalist freak group cleverly disguised as an advocacy group for parents' rights. They are notorious for advocating continued contact by children with their parents regardless of what the parent may have done. Sometimes custody is taken away for very good reasons. This group advocates strongly for children to be forced to see parents who may be harmful to them. You know, including molestors. And parents who physically harm their kids.

Here's a highlight. You'll have to cut and paste, as the document is a PDF and I couldn't copy anything. It's a wacky little document cooked up by nobody other than Those Crazy Libruls, who do nothing but cause trouble for the children of the world.
The topic? The detention of unaccompanied minors, some as young as 6 years old, by the United States. These detentions are simply by virtue of their race, nationality, and/or last name. Damn Libruls! Damn Activist Judges...dontcha know that The Terrorists Win when six-year-old Muslim children aren't treated as prisoners by the worlds' biggest superpower?

I'm a troll now? Oh, this is rich. It's hilarious how you all assume that I'm an ultra-right-wing person. Yeah, I lean to the right, but I call a spade a spade. Need proof? Here's something I posted recently for all the world to see. http://22acaciaave.livejournal.com/52428.html
"Ultra-right wingers - Yes, I may lean to the right, but the ulra-right iritate me about as much as the ultra-left. Anne Coulter, for instance. Such a hateful woman. She seems to think that if anyone is left of center that they automatically hate America. She thinks that liberals are brain-dead idiots. I may not agree with most liberal talking points, but most liberals that I know are very intelligent. Then you have Michael Savage (excuse me, Michael Wiener, and yes, that's his real name), who is basically Anne Coulter with a penis. He's nothing but a bitter, old man. Did he get beat up by a hippy when he was younger or something? Then you have Sean Hannity, who is basically the brown noser of the republican party. Bush could kill a puppy on live TV and he'd find some way to spin it so that Bush looks good. Guess what, guys. Just because someone doesn't think we should have been in Iraq doesn't mean that they hate America. Get a grip! Oh yeah, and guess what....global warming is NOT junk science. Wether we are the reason for it can be argued, but global warming does exist. Thank God there are level-headed conservative personalities like Glenn Beck, Bob Durgan, Bill O'Rielly and Rush (yes, that's right, I like Rush Linbaugh) to remind me of the reasons why I consider myself a conservative."
What? You mean I can actually bash republicans?
You are not a Christian. I hate you because you, and people just like you, are destroying the Holy Name of Jesus Christ with your hateful diatribes against anyone you disagree with
Oh the irony!

Human Rights Watch urges HHS to remove this website, and substitute in its place complete, unbiased, and accurate information about HIV prevention that meets with prevailing human rights standards.
First off, point out what's "censored" in that site? There is stuff there to help parents talk to their children about sex. Also, where is the incorrect information? Those same statistics were being taught when I was in highschool which was *gasp* during Clinton's time in office. Plus the site teaches the propper way to use a condom. Also, what the hell is so wrong with teaching people that not having sex prevents unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Oh, that's right. You're all "progressive" parents that let your children have gang bangs as long as it's under your own roof.

At least three children are being held, which must mean that Republicans are EEEEVILLLLL!!!! No mention of any wrong being done to them, but since a human rights group mentions the potential, you all jump on the "The evil soldiers are torturing children!!!!".

Wow. After reading through these comments I realize that all this time I thought I was thinking for myself I was just being coerced by the evil conservative mind control machine. Perhaps now I can go on and TRULY think for myself and realize that Bush is the most evil man to ever walk the face of the earth, terrorists are just misunderstood, and communist dictators do more for the downtrodden than any church full of religious zealots would ever do. I shall block Fox News from my TV and read only acceptable liberal news sites like this one, DailyKOS, the DU, Mother Jones, and of course MichaelMoore.com.
Finally I can cast off the demons of self responsibility and logical deduction in favor of collective thought and bleeding heart guilt. It is all so clear to me now. I want to graciously thank the liberals on this site who have shown me the light that I may open my mind, think for myself, and reach the same conclusions as they have in every possible scenario. No longer will I be shackled by the racist greed of the Republican Party. No longer will I assume that just because I worked to earn something that I should get to keep it. And no longer will I think for a second that an unborn baby is an innocent like the poor freedom fighters who have died in Bush's zionist crusade. Salvation awaits.

Jeezus, Hoff - not only is this wingnut ripping off YOUR comment (gee what a shock), but he's doing the wingnut lockstep: making shit up.
Sorry, pal - I didn't see ANY of that anywhere on this blog. If anything, we were all rooting for Bush to GET the terrorists. He's failed. He invaded a country nowhere NEAR Osama who has still gotten away with killing over 3,000 of our own people.
We waged war on the wrong bad guy.
The economy's in the shitter.
Our military is stetched to its limit.
Iraq is exploding several times a day.
We're now all subject to illegal surveillance.

My guess is that "John" was attempting something like sarcasm. I guess he needs whatever humor he can find today, what with those Bush/Abramoff photos and all. Librul conspiracy, no doubt having to do with Bill Clinton, I know.
Oh, and one more thing for your list:
We are rapidly heading into a war with Iran.
Mouth-breathing mongoloids like John and the other troll won't go. People like my brother will. You know, the soldier whose sister these lunkheads so readily bash? I'll bet you ANYTHING that both of them have "support our troops" claptrap on their SUVs. Just call it a hunch.
War with Iran will be a nightmare, beyond our wildest imaginings. Who wants to run down to the local recruiter and sign John up?
